I would say that with six years development time, they could have made a better game, GFX and likewise, looks older than six years, AI is non-existing, playing a mission with enemy AutoTurrets, and my AI Buddies constantly attack the turrets head on..

10 hours sp campaign covered with couple of deaths on the way (lol 6 deaths) +1 silly door bug the games story was interesting enough to keep me going, gonna do some co-op with friend later to see how much is it going to differ from singleplayer.
So far. The graphic's seem to be nice enough on the characters even close up and OK when you look at the environment to closely you notice the poor res graphic's. But so far the story and the game play even though liner to a point it is still good. Now I am not going to even think about comparing it to other games. Why pointless in my book. AI seems to be ok to a point. Its not high class like you would expect. But I have watched the characters fight while I fight and they do work. Not that perfectly as we expect. But some know my stance do not go by what a reviewer says sit on the fence then play it yourself. Then form your opinion. Al do my usual more detailed review on what I see when am more into it.
The point with the graphics is that in this day and age you expect decent graphics - there is no reason why any game, especially on PC, shouldn't look stunning. It's lazy game making, and as someone who works in the industry I know there's no excuse for it.
As for the game itself, I've only played for a few minutes so far and it seems promising enough from a story standpoint, but the fact that the pulse rifle only has a 40 round mag really sticks in my craw - for a game that is supposed to be a "made for the fans" Aliens sequel, that is simply unforgivable.

They left it at low res. A res patch will probably come out. Also the pulse rifle sucks. You will get better accuracy with a brick to the enemies skull. Also I know about the graphics industry to.
Not all games have to be graphic intense. This was just not polished.
Just completed the game, took 10 hours Ended up as a Lvl 19 Marine..
Even with poor GFX the game managed to scare the living crap out of me a few times, and i died about 12 times..
All in all a nice game, just dont think about them using 6 Years to make it

Yep which is why I always go back to talking about Minecraft (NOT A GAME) and how addictive that is and its not graphically superior.
I think its more a get people to buy it first then release a Hi Def pack, instead of straight away so warez users can't get the goodies from day 1.
